Nicknames for Your Boyfriend He Will Adore

Whenever your boyfriend brings up the nickname talk, a list like this will probably come in handy.

Finding a Nickname for Your New Beau

Finding good nicknames for your boyfriend is something that will always come into the minds of women (or men) after a few good dates with someone, as they will begin to try and figure out if this person is "the one". This article is an attempt (from a guy's point of view) to decide upon a name that both will be able to live with. While the most popular boyfriend nicknames will always be the go-to names to call your significant other, there are others that are just as good.

While some women may find this list flawed because it was made by a guy, just keep in mind that it does take two to make a couple. Personally, I find all the names below acceptable, especially if under the right circumstances or experiences. There will eventually come a time when every woman will want to come up with that perfect nickname for the person they've been dating for a while. My hope is that this list is viewed by both parties to come up with a really cool nickname that will be used for a long, long time. Thanks for giving it a look-see.

Cute Boyfriend Nicknames to Bring Couples Closer

Romantic French Nicknames for Your Beloved

While learning a foreign language isn't the easiest thing in the world to accomplish, learning a few choice words from a beautiful dialect to convey to someone you love or care about is within everyone's ability. It may take a little practice, but with some patience, you can totally surprise your partner by speaking "the language of love". If done at the right moment and under the right circumstances, there is a very good chance that the nickname will stick.

Sexy Nicknames for Your Significant Other

• Babes: Most guy friends I know say that they love it when their girlfriend or wife calls them this in casual conversation.
• Doc: Playing doctor is even more fun when you become an adult.
• Eastwood: A great name for a boyfriend who just oozes machismo.
• Magnum: While some people may immediately think of size, there are plenty who will think of the old 1980s TV show Magnum P.I., whose leading man, played by Tom Selleck, just oozed sex appeal.
• Pacman: A boyfriend who likes to eat... food.
• Papa Smurf: A great name for someone who is a bit more mature and likes to look out for the people they care about.
• Pincher: This guy nickname is perfect for someone who likes to pinch his girlfriend playfully... a lot.

I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.

Romantic Nicknames for Your Boyfriend or Husband

Coming up With Cool Boyfriend Nicknames

• Lovey-dovey nicknames can be good for your relationship, but only if both sides like them.
• The worst nicknames for your boyfriend, husband, or partner are the ones that you really have to convince them to accept. Explain why you'd like to have a particular nickname for them, but if it doesn't grow on them within a few days, best to move on.
• Coming up with cute nicknames for your boyfriend that he will secretly love will take time. If you try and force something on him that he doesn't like, he probably won't say anything, but you'll probably see a grimace on his face every time you call him by that name.
• Nicknames can change over time. At the beginning of a relationship, they can be more funny and light-hearted, while growing more sentimental and serious as a couple's love grows for each other.

That's how you know you love someone, I guess, when you can't experience anything without wishing the other person were there to see it, too.

Loving Nicknames for Your Partner

Falling in Love With a Dreamer?

We can't always choose the ones we fall in love with, can we? Dreamers are definitely a different breed that may need course correction on a regular basis by a strong partner. If you can embrace a dreamer for what they are (people who want amazing things to happen), then this kind of relationship can flourish. "Dreamer" would make a great nickname for someone like this, don't you think?
